In addition to other things people responded with, piracy services tend to not collect users data or prevent us from watching with a VPN enabled.
Man this one chaff's me the most. I way a paying Netflix customer like 8 years ago. I had IPv6 setup as a 6rd tunnel through HE (Hurricane Electric) because my ISP didn't offer IPv6. Netflix treated that as a VPN and blocked me as a paying customer... Even though I lived/payed from the same fucking locale. It's not like I was using a VPN to bypass a Geoblock. I was just making IPv6 available to myself. I cancelled because of that. You do not get to tell me how I access the internet at large, especially when I'm not even being shady about it.
